ABSTRACT

Is the so-called environmental crisis actually a cultural crisis? If so, what exactly does "environmental crisis" mean in this case? If the use of the term is justified, what factors might have led to the conditions to which it refers? Are these ideological factors - in the sense of the history of ideas - rather than interest-bound matters? Is the "environmental crisis", therefore, an "ideological crisis" and, in this sense, a crisis of our culture? What is the essence of the link between environment and nature, the interdependence between nature and culture, upon which our sense of "crisis" is based? The following reflections attempt to answer these questions.
